Joshua5/5

My water heater went out on a Saturday morning. I contacted Express and spoke to Dante who came over within an hour. He let me know what my options were and gave me a quote that was less than the several other plumbing companies that I had contacted before Express. He got to work immediately. He was polite, professional, fast and did quality work. Before he left he gave me a card and let me know if there were any problems to contact him 24/7. I am extremely satisfied with the experience I had with Express Water Heater and Plumbing and would highly recommend them to everyone. They are a family owned small business and actually care about their customers which is rare these days.

Thank you Joshua, for taking time to leave an awesome review! We’re so pleased you had a good experience with Express Water Heaters & Plumbing with your water heater replacement. Be sure to call us for all residential plumbing needs!

Tim5/5

Dante did a great job getting our water pressure into the house to the correct pressure. Also a new pressure relief valve that took care of the leak we were having with the old...👍 👌🏾

Thank you for the kind review Tim. Glad to hear you were taken care of.

Brian5/5

Water main went down and I didn't know. They came out and diagnosed for free. I completely wasted their time, and yet they were professional and stood by the free diagnosis, even though there is nothing they could do because the whole neighborhood was shut down. Will definitely be calling them again the next time I need plumbing done.

Thank you for the kind review, Jamie. We are very pleased to hear you had a good experience with us on your new water heater.

John5/5

Dante came to install a kitchen disposal and flush out our tankless water heater. He was very professional, friendly, and thorough in the disposal installation, even though some of the parts on our kitchen sink were very rusted. His price was reasonable. I'll definitely be using Express Plumbing again!

Thank you John for the kind review. We appreciate your business! Feel free to call us for any and all residential plumbing needs!

John5/5

Dante was very quick to reply when I called him and he came out for a free consultation and installed our water heater same day, he was very knowledgeable about the products and explained things very well!

Thank you for the kind review, John! We are pleased you had a good experience with Dante!

Chris5/5

We worked with Robert several years ago in replacing a water heater. His service and communication were excellent. Fast forward to today and with a new plumbing issue with our master shower not getting hot water, we called Express Water Heaters to find out his son, Dante, is working for the company as well. Dante’s work was excellent, just like his Father’s work, as a strong communicator, very thorough, and most important honest and straight forward. We will continue to use Donte for future plumbing needs. Thank you.

Amazing review Chris, thank you for trusting us to handle your plumbing needs.

Anjli5/5

Dante was excellent in coming out right away to help fix major water leak in garage. He communicated well throughout. Great service!

Thank you for the kind review Anjli! We're always a call away.

Austin5/5

Can’t say enough good things about Dante from Express Water Heaters. Came out to install a 75-gallon water heater and killed it. On time, super friendly, and answered all my questions without rushing through the job. Great price for San Diego, too. Ask for Dante if you need work done!
